A system may include a surface penetrating radar system. The system may further include a battery system of a vehicle. At least a portion of the battery system of the vehicle may also be at least a portion of the surface penetrating radar system.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A system comprising: a surface penetrating radar system defined in a first space; and a battery system of an electric vehicle defined in a second space, wherein a portion of the second space is included in the first space and includes a cavity of the surface penetrating radar system.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the battery system of the vehicle in the portion of the second space included in the first space is fused to a portion of the surface penetrating radar system in the portion of the second space included in the first space to create a shared portion of the system.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the battery system dampens energy of waves emitted by the surface penetrating radar system.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the battery system comprises a material selected from the group consisting of: a metal, a high permittivity material, and a high permeability material.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of a bottom surface of the battery system of the vehicle is also at least a portion of a top surface of the surface penetrating radar system.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the surface penetrating radar system is shaped to mount to the battery system.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the surface penetrating radar system is mountable to the battery system upon removal of a portion of the battery system.
8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the surface penetrating radar system is mountable to the battery system upon removal of a portion of the surface penetrating radar system.
9. The system of claim 1 wherein the battery system comprise a material selected to reflect waves emitted by the surface penetrating radar system.
10. The system of claim 1 wherein the battery system comprise a material selected to absorb waves emitted by the surface penetrating radar system.
11. The system of claim 1 wherein the battery system comprise a material selected to shift a phase of waves emitted by the surface penetrating radar system.
12. The system of claim 1 wherein the battery system comprise a material selected to alter a path of waves emitted by the surface penetrating radar system.
13. The system of claim 1 wherein the battery system comprise a material selected to alter a breadth of waves emitted by the surface penetrating radar system.
14. The system of claim 1 wherein the battery system comprise a material selected to alter an angle of waves emitted by the surface penetrating radar system.
15. A system comprising: a surface penetrating radar system defined in a first space; and a battery system of an electric vehicle defined in a second space, wherein a portion of the second space is included in the first space and includes at least a portion of a plate shared by the battery system and the surface penetrating radar system.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein a portion of the battery system of the vehicle in the portion of the second space included in the first space is fused to a portion of the surface penetrating radar system in the portion of the second space included in the first space to create a shared portion of the system.
17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the battery system dampens energy of waves emitted by the surface penetrating radar system.
18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the battery system comprises a material selected from the group consisting of: a metal, a high permittivity material, and a high permeability material.
19. The system of claim 15 , wherein at least a portion of a bottom surface of the battery system of the vehicle is also at least a portion of a top surface of the surface penetrating radar system.
20. The system of claim 15 , wherein the surface penetrating radar system is shaped to mount to the battery system.
21. The system of claim 20 , wherein the surface penetrating radar system is mountable to the battery system upon removal of a portion of the battery system.
22. The system of claim 20 , wherein the surface penetrating radar system is mountable to the battery system upon removal of a portion of the surface penetrating radar system.
23. The system of claim 15 wherein the battery system comprise a material selected to reflect waves emitted by the surface penetrating radar system.
24. The system of claim 15 wherein the battery system comprise a material selected to absorb waves emitted by the surface penetrating radar system.
25. The system of claim 15 wherein the battery system comprise a material selected to shift a phase of waves emitted by the surface penetrating radar system.
26. The system of claim 15 wherein the battery system comprise a material selected to alter a path of waves emitted by the surface penetrating radar system.
27. The system of claim 15 wherein the battery system comprise a material selected to alter a breadth of waves emitted by the surface penetrating radar system.
28. The system of claim 15 wherein the battery system comprise a material selected to alter an angle of waves emitted by the surface penetrating radar system.
